Best book-to-film adaptation.

By dylangarroway17

I thought this was one of the best book to film adaptations. Yes there were a few things that were different, and things taken out, but it was great. It really was just a wonderful experience. It was...

Could Have Been Better

By MyMindStorm

I really liked the book series, so I went to the opening night of City of Bones. The plot moved too slow, the action seemed placed (not natural), and the actors didn’t do the book characters justice....

Great book - Bad Movie

By MovieGuyNJ

The book was fascinating. It's too bad they turned this into an MTV version. I take that back; Teen Wolf is much better than this. The one character in the book who is full of life, charisma and...

Not what I expected

By mrsblack1029

Granted movies cannot follow books exactly, however this one was so far off of key points it was difficult to watch. The only actors that portrayed the characters accurately were Robert Sheehan...

For fans only?

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!

By ramirobia

Loved the dialogues,jace is everything like in the book, and despite people complaining about magnus amd valentine, I liked them. Really! Hell yeah,valentine looked like a hippie but he was still as...

Of course the book is better

By MsBitterheart

But yeah... as movie adaptations go, I can live with this. Jamie Campbell Bower is not my Jace, and there were a few other minor/major changes (Simon is never a mouse!), but I can accept them and...

Too funny sometimes!

By helenstalzer

I've read the books and truly enjoyed the movie, but there were some scenes that should have been scary but I laughed, they were comedic ,I won't mention where. My daughter who is 15 loved it and...
